FUELING ENGINE
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline. Before operation,
gasoline must be mixed with a good
quality 2-cycle air*cooled engine oil.
We recommend Craftsman brand oil.
Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1
(A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2
ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded
gasoline). DO NOT use automotive oil
or boat oil. These oils will cause engine
damage. When mixing fuel, follow
instructions printed on container.
Once oil is added to gasoline, shake
container momentarily to assure that
the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always
read and follow the safety rules relating
to fuel before fueling your unit.

for a 40/1 mixture use 3 ounces of oil ( 2 stroke) to a gallon of gas
for a 50/1 ( which is what I recommend ) its 2.5 ounces to each gallon of gas, if you find that the machine is smoking a little too much,, back up on the oil just a hair,, but I don't think you'll need to

From Poulan website:
The fuel-oil mixture ratio for all Poulan two-cycle products is 40:1.
You can obtain this ratio by mixing 3.2 oz. of oil with one gallon of
regular gas. If you have other brands of equipment that require
different fuel/oil
ratios and you don't want to mix separate fuel cans, you should use the
lowest numerical ratio. For example, if you have products requiring
40:1, 50:1, and 32:1 ratios you should use the 32:1 ratio for all
products. This may cause slight smoke increase in the exhaust in the
40:1 and 50:1 products due to more oil in the fuel, but it won't damage
either of the engines.

Use a quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. Poulan recommends a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1 (A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 onces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline). When mixing fuel, follow the instructions printed on the container. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.. Be Safe!
